Some of the most memorable "B" movies of the fifties were mutant insects and other assorted critters resulting from nuclear tests in deserts and oceans. But the danger really comes when the "...let's see if we can do this..." scientists forget the law of unintended consequences.

Oh great! I saw this movie when I was a child. Scared the crap out of me. You realize when they get big like this they make hideous screeching sounds?:eek:

The Orkin man---?Pishaa! I saw these freaks cut a man in half with their jaws. They drink Raid like Kool-Aid.

Supersoldier ants can (and do) occur naturally in the wild and grow to around 4mm (that's an inch and a half), but only rarely.

No new species created, just someone left their old jeans(genes) laying around.
